I like to garden, quilt, read most any book, and follow my seven grandchildren in their various activities: Amy, Brent, Amanda, Brice, Jason, Jamie and Alex. We have a Great Grandson, Shaden. He is an active little boy. My husband Roger and I raise beef cattle, grains and hay on our farm.

Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve day, and preparations are going well at my house. We are expecting 23 people. The tree and lights are sparkling. Tables are up with red cloths, gold napkins and gold ball centerpieces. The turkey and ham are thawing, the squash is in the oven, to be put in the crock pot for tomorrow. Homemade ice cream ingredients are ready to be put together. Potatoes will go in the oven to be baked. Garden carrots yet to be cleaned and sliced. Buns and a pumpkin roll are ready. The rest of the great dinner is made by the families coming tomorrow..green bean casserole, dressing, salads, candies, desserts. Salami, cheeses, crackers, rolled pickles, veggies and dip on the appetizer table.We will be doing a matching game to find your dinner partner, should be fun, along with fun favors on the table. We are grateful that all of our children and grandchildren will be here, along with my Mom and Dad; and that the SD weather promises no snow tomorrow!Church services are at 5:00 tonight, to remember why we are celebrating at this time of year; for Jesus Christ, who was born and died for us. Happy Holidays, everyone!
